Cronenworth is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

San Diego manager Jayce Tingler will stock up some extra right-handed bats against Mets lefty Joey Lucchesi in the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Cronenworth will head to the bench for the first time this month. The righty-hitting Ha-Seong Kim will fill in for Cronenworth at the keystone.

Tellez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

Southpaw Martin Perez is on the bump for Boston, so the lefty-hitting Tellez will retreat to the bench. Randal Grichuk will serve as Toronto's designated hitter in Tellez's stead.

Vaughn is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

With manager Tony La Russa wanting to get Brian Goodwin another start after he homered and doubled in his team debut Saturday, Vaughn will sit for the second straight day. The rookie is hitting just .226/.308/.396 across 182 plate appearances this season, so it wouldn't be surprising is he sees less consistent playing time in the coming weeks.

Bell is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

The lefty-hitting Bell typically starts against right-handed pitching, but he'll be on the bench Sunday even with righty Johnny Cueto on the bump for San Francisco. Bell had previously sat out the second half of Saturday's doubleheader when the Giants had a lefty (Conner Menez) lead off a bullpen game, so the first baseman will be sitting for the second game in a row. Ryan Zimmerman gets another start in Bell's stead.

Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

For the first time since June 1, Wade will head to the bench, ending a streak of nine consecutive starts. With the Giants bringing Mike Yastrzemski back from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Wade's path to an everyday role in the San Francisco outfield could become more blocked. Wade and Steven Duggar will likely be competing for one spot in the Giants' regular outfield alongside Yastrzemski and Mike Tauchman.

Voit (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday that is expected to last about a week, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

The first baseman has increased his activity of late, including taking more swings, as he works his way back from a Grade 2 oblique strain. He is set to get into a handful of minor-league contests before potentially rejoining the big club in about a week. Voit's return should provide a tangible boost to a Yankees team that has lost seven of its past 11 games.

Kirilloff is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Kirilloff suffered an ankle sprain Thursday but was able to return to the lineup for the first two games of the series against Houston. The outfielder will get a breather Sunday with Minnesota going up against southpaw Framber Valdez. Rob Refsnyder will return from a hamstring issue to start in right field Sunday.

Lowe went 3-for-5 with a double, two-run home run and three RBI in a 10-1 win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Lowe recorded an RBI single in the third, a double in the seventh, and a two-run home run in the ninth for his first three-hit game of the season. It was a nice rebound for Lowe, who was only 4-for-39 over his last 13 games prior to Friday. He's now slashing .245/.343/.395.

Bohm went 2-for-5 with a pair of run-scoring singles in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Yankees.

Bohm drove in Bryce Harper to extend the Phillies' lead to 4-0 in the first inning and later added another RBI knock in the fifth. While Bohm is still slashing a subpar .224/.266/.311 on the campaign, he's shown signs of turning things around of late, going 6-for-13 with three RBI and three runs scored across his last four games.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Marlins.

The first baseman took Anthony Bass deep in the eighth inning to bring Atlanta within a run, but it was the only offense the team could manage. Freeman has gone yard twice in the last three games, bringing him up to 15 homers and 35 RBI through 61 games, but his .237 batting average remains well below expectations.
